std::type_index
Member functions type_index::type_index type_index::operator= operator!= operator< operator<= operator> operator>= type_index::hash_code type_index::name

Defined in header <typeindex>
class type_index;		(since C++11)

The type_index class is a wrapper class around a std::type_info object, that can be used as index in associative and unordered associative containers. The relationship with type_info object is maintained through a pointer, therefore type_index can be copy-constructed and copy-assigned.

(constructor)	constructs the object (public member function)
operator== operator!= operator< operator<= operator> operator>=	compares the underlying std::type_info objects (public member function)
hash_code	returns hashed code (public member function)
name	returns implementation defined name of the type, associated with underlying type_info object (public member function)

[edit] Helper classes

std::hash<std::type_index> (C++11)	hash support for std::type_index (class template specialization)

[edit] See also

type_info	contains some type's information, generated by the implementation. This is the class, returned by the typeid operator (class)
